When it comes to news about popular celebrities, reporters are like people who have been hungry for several days when they see food.
After Yoshimura Otomo contacted some media, most reporters in the entertainment industry knew the news and gathered outside the studio of the NHK building in the afternoon. Even if there was no manpower, they would send a few people to take some photos.
Tanaka Yuko discussed the Kohaku Song Festival here in the afternoon, so a simple media conference was also held here, and Nagayama Naoki also rushed here.
"Yuko-san, I didn't expect it~" Naoki Nagayama found Yuko Tanaka in the background, "I actually said it right~"
"Naoki-san, how can you be so calm?"
Tanaka Yuko was a little surprised when she saw the smile on Nagayama Naoki's face. When she found out the news in the morning, she and her agent were frightened.
If Otomo Yoshimura of Shuyou Pictures hadn't called immediately to discuss this plan, they might have been thinking about this public relations crisis today.
"Well, several scandals pop up almost every once in a while, I'm almost used to it~" Nagayama Naoki scratched his face, a little embarrassed, "Hahaha, this is probably because I don't have to worry about too much debt~"
"Ha~" Naoki Nagayama's open-mindedness calmed down Yuko Tanaka's mood, "Naoki-san is really good at comforting people."
"Have you ever thought about who is behind it, Yuko-san? Generally speaking, people would say hello to such scandals in advance."
At this juncture, if a scandal breaks out about Yuko Tanaka, then the organizers of the Kohaku Song Festival may really consider replacing people. This year, we got such a good opportunity because of the most famous "Axin", but it may not necessarily happen in the future.
That's it.
For Naoki Nagayama, the impact will be much smaller.
"I don't know, maybe someone doesn't want me to be the host of the Red and White Song Festival~" Several possible profiteers flashed through Tanaka Yuko's mind, but she really didn't know who was behind it.
"There's nothing we can do about it. Anyway, let's deal with it first this time."
Nagayama Naoki looked at the big letters held by the staff who walked over. Today's background wall was actually the launch conference of the "Midnight Ring" movie, and major media were invited under this name.
After they were almost ready, Naoki Nagayama and Shu Itou reviewed their lines, then walked through the small door of the studio and walked to the media meeting table in front.
As soon as he entered the door, the flashlights started to shine as if they were free of charge. Naoki Nagayama had not yet mastered the skill of celebrities to maintain their manners in the face of flashlights, so he couldn't help but squint his eyes.
On the other hand, Tanaka Yuko in the back looked calm and didn't even stop.
Only now do I know what it means to take one minute on stage and ten years off stage. Without strong psychological quality and performance skills, how could one be able to face such dense flashes of light?
The temporary host borrowed from NHK took a microphone and explained the theme of today's press conference to the media present.
"Thank you very much to all my friends from the media for coming. Director Shuichi Itou and producer Naoki Nagayama of the currently airing "High School" will start their next journey again, this time with the upcoming film project "Midnight Ring"
, is a horror movie.
Now let’s invite director Shuichi Itou to introduce it to us!”
The reporters in the audience applauded and took pictures very proudly. After all, the Jinyuan offensive of Shuyou Films cannot be underestimated.
Itou Shuichi cleared his throat: "Mina-san, Shuyu's first film was a horror film, and "The Ghost Story" has achieved good results both at home and abroad.
With this experience, we came up with the idea of making a film with video as the key word. This film will be based on the story of folklore, combined with the exploration of special functions that were once all the rage."
Itou Shuichi was talking about the introduction of "Midnight Bell" on the stage, but the reporters in the audience were almost all focused on Naoki Nagayama and Tanaka Yuko, and they looked a little impatiently at the chattering Itou Shuichi.
.
Until Shuichi Itou finally finished: "This is the general situation of the movie. We are confident that this movie will bring you the latest viewing experience and let everyone experience different horrors!"
The host took over the conversation with a wink: "Hi, thank you Director Yi Tang for your explanation. Dear reporters, do you have any questions?"
Itou Shuichi looked at the reporters in the audience expectantly, and a group of people responded with an awkward silence:
"Who are we here for? Director Yitang, do you really have no idea?"
"Haha, it seems that everyone is very humble." The host forcibly redeemed himself, using his eyes to indicate that the people who had prepared in advance were ready to work, "you can actively ask questions!"
"Hi, please tell me, Director Yi Tang, when is this movie scheduled to be released?" Finally, a sitter remembered his duty.
"Ah, we plan to start shooting at the end of September, and it is expected to be released on Halloween this year!" Itou Shuichi breathed a sigh of relief, the release date has been set long ago.
"I would like to ask Director Yi Tang, will the filming of this movie conflict with the current "Hot Blood High School"?"
After several arranged questions, the host finally turned the topic to Naoki Nagayama:
"As the producer of "The Ring," what would Mr. Naoki Nagayama want to share with you?"
Before he could finish his words, there was a clicking sound, and flash lights connected together.
Nagayama Naoki turned his head and looked at the reporters around him. They were all looking forward to it and couldn't help laughing: "Haha, everyone is waiting for my speech~"
"." You know it and you still haven't told us?! Give us the information we want!
The reporters looked like wolves, wanting to peel off Nagayama Naoki's head to see the real situation!
"Ahem!" Naoki Nagayama tactically cleared his throat.
"Actually, Yuko-san and I also noticed the public opinion in the newspaper this morning!"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! First of all, I want to say sorry because our personal affairs have occupied public resources and caused trouble to everyone!"
As soon as this sentence came out, the reporters present became excited. Is this a positive response?!
Some senior reporters, however, suddenly felt that it was very novel to "occupy public resources." This was the first time they heard such a statement!
It doesn’t admit anything, it’s just a purely objective fact. Humans and animals are harmless, but it makes people feel that they take into account the feelings of others.
Learned, learned!
Naoki Nagayama continued: "Actually, yesterday, I was discussing this movie with Ms. Yuko Tanaka. After careful consideration, Ms. Yuko Tanaka has agreed to join the "Midnight Ring" project!"
Tanaka Yuko nodded and confirmed.
"Click, click, click", the camera's shutter sound suddenly accelerated.
Seeing that Yuko Tanaka also came to attend this press conference, everyone had some speculations, but when it was actually revealed, it was indeed big news.
Naoki Nagayama is not finished yet: "The filming time for "The Ring" is quite tight, and there are still many vacancies for actors. Taking this opportunity, Shuyu Pictures also officially announced the casting selection meeting for "The Ring"
About to start,
We don’t care whether you have performance experience or whether you are a contracted artist, anyone who is interested can sign up.”
Naoki Nagayama held up a stack of documents: "This is a brief description of the role and how to sign up. I will give a copy to the reporters present later."
The casting meeting for "The Ring"! There are no restrictions!
Everyone in the entertainment industry knows that Shuichi Itou and Naoki Nagayama of Shuyu Pictures have always been famous for boldly casting new talents. They can make a group of amateurs popular with just one movie, such as in "That Summer, the Sea of Tranquility"
Saito Yuki, Nagayama Kaede in "Hot Blood High School" and so on.
Moreover, none of Shuyou Pictures’ movies so far has been a hit!
The host also responded in a timely manner: "Next, journalists who have questions, please raise their hands to speak."
The reporters were all excited. This was big news. Almost all hands were raised in an instant. The host had to pick one at random:
"Mr. Naoki Nagayama, is there a time limit for the casting of "The Ring"?"
"Before the end of September, as I just said, time is relatively tight."
"Mr. Naoki Nagayama, will this movie participate in this year's film awards competition?"
"Follow the rules of the competition and participate within the time limit."
"Mr. Naoki Nagayama, can anyone participate in the casting? For example, can I?" This is a reporter who wants to enter the film industry!
"Hi, there are no restrictions at all. You can send in the registration form and we will call you after the preliminary review!"
Just when Naoki Nagayama thought that this press conference would go on smoothly and cover up the scandal this morning, disharmonious factors still appeared.
Someone raised their hand to ask:
"I would like to ask Miss Tanaka Yuko, is she dating anyone at the moment?"
"." The lively venue suddenly became quiet.
This reporter didn't ask if he was dating Nagayama Naoki, didn't ask if he was discussing roles yesterday, and he didn't focus on today's movie. He was obviously here for Tanaka Yuko.
"this"
Tanaka Yuko originally wanted to follow the convention of the entertainment industry and pretend that she was not dating or anything, but Nagayama Naoki immediately thought of it, because Tanaka Yuko had always dealt with scandals coldly in the past.
No matter how she replies, the reporter's next question will most likely be:
"Can you explain yesterday's scandal?" "Then the previous scandal about Zeten Kenji"
In short, it will definitely be involved, and scandals are always difficult for female celebrities to get rid of. Even if they deny it, they will be written up by the media. Especially on the eve of her performance at the Red and White Song Concert, it arouses
The public image is very unfavorable.
So Nagayama Naoki replied directly: "This question is not related to the movie, Yuko-san refuses to answer!"
"??" Not only the reporters, but also Tanaka Yuko looked over in surprise.
Naoki Nagayama looked at the reporter and said, "If you have similar questions, you can ask me!"
"Huh?" The reporter was speechless for a moment, but still asked, "So is Mr. Naoki Nagayama dating?"
Nagayama Naoki smiled: "I refuse to answer either!"
With a cry of coaxing, the reporters sitting here were all surprised by such shamelessness. Is this teasing us reporters? Isn't this guy afraid that we will write nonsense and ruin his reputation?
Ah, it seems that this guy Naoki Huaxin doesn’t have a good reputation either.
The host quickly came to smooth things over: "Mr. Naoki Nagayama really loves to joke, but friends from the reporters present, your questions should be more related to the movie."
But the reporter did not give up: "Mr. Naoki Nagayama, do you have any explanation for the previous scandal?"
It seems that he really received a lot of money. Naoki Nagayama looked at the young reporter, he came here just for this big news, but are you kidding me?
"Ha, I have so many scandals. Which one are you referring to?"
The reporters present were all speechless. Are you completely shameless? Are you proud of having so many scandals?
Seeing that it was about to arouse public outrage, Naoki Nagayama quickly explained: "I really don't know, it's all the scandal that your media planted for me!"
"Ahem!"
The reporter was choked. He was about to say it was with Yuko Tanaka, but then he remembered that he had said before that he was discussing film cooperation. What an excuse! There was nothing explosive. If it was too early, there would be no buzz.
"Is he the one who was photographed at the preview of "High School"? What is his relationship with Nagayama-san?"
"Ah! That's what you're talking about!" Nagayama Naoki smiled, and it was so hot that he sent it to her, "That cute girl is called Aoyama Chikako!"
Many reporters couldn't believe it. Did they actually say it directly? Is this an official announcement?
One by one, the recorders were stretched out in front of Nagayama Naoki.
Nagayama Naoki paused, looked around at the reporters and said: "He is the idol artist newly signed by GG Agency! He will debut in the near future! Please give me your support!"
New idol artist? When did it happen? Which talent show came out?
For a time, the name Chikako Aoyama circulated in the heads of reporters several times, and everyone wanted to find relevant information.
Just when everyone wanted to continue asking, Naoki Nagayama remained silent!
The mysterious new idol Chiko Aoyama became a very curious figure in subsequent reports.
The subsequent interview process was much more harmonious. Naoki Nagayama and Shuichi Itou sincerely exchanged views with reporters on issues related to "The Ring" and also made some explanations about the casting criteria.
Even when someone asked Tanaka Yuko, it was more related to movies, why they were considering this movie, whether it would be a breakthrough in her acting career, etc., instead of paying attention to previous scandals.
After the press conference, which lasted more than an hour, ended successfully, Naoki Nagayama chatted with Yuko Tanaka in the background:
"Do you know that reporter, Yuko-san?"
Tanaka Yuko shook his head: "This is the first time I've seen him. Is he being entrusted by someone?"
"Probably, otherwise I wouldn't have targeted Yuko-san. But he didn't get anything today."
It was also Naoki Nagayama and the others who reacted too quickly. There was a press conference in the afternoon for the scandal in the morning, otherwise the mastermind would not have arranged for just one person.
Tanaka Yuko thanked Nagayama Naoki: "Thank you Naoki-san just now."
"It's okay, Yuko-san is now a member of our crew!" Attacking Yuko Tanaka at this press conference is tantamount to attacking this project~
"It's a pity that I still don't know who is behind it."
"It doesn't matter, don't we already have clues?"
"Huh? But he shouldn't say it, right?"
"Everyone has a price~" Nagayama Naoki's eyes were very sure.
If you really don’t tell, let him know. Are the Nagayama family, who have a Yamaguchi-gumi background, so calculating?
